About this ebook

Black people are relentless victims of relentless white violence, often at the end of a badge -- for No Reason What So Ever.

That was the biggest news story of 2014 and it was easy to find in the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, Spike Lee, Oprah, USA Today, and lots of other places.

That is a hoax. That is what this book is about. How black crime and violence is astronomically out of proportion, but ignored, condoned, excused, denied, and even encouraged.

War on black people, anyone?

The President got in on the act in 2014 when he told the Congressional Black Caucus about a "justice gap." Where "too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement. Guilty of walking while black. Driving while black. Judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness."

That is the biggest lie of our generation. Because just the opposite is true.

Black crime and violence against whites, gays, women, seniors, young people and lots of others is astronomically out of proportion.

It just won't quit. Neither will the excuses. Or the denials. Or the black on white hostility. Or those who encourage it.

That is what 'Don't Make the Black Kids Angry' is about.

    I mean, it's pretty much just a 700 page itemized list of black on black and black on white violence. The author just calls for those committing these acts of violence to be held accountable and for society to stop making excuses. Nothing racist about that.

    Those clowns saying the book is racist have never even read it. Of that I can GUARANTEE YOU 100%. I challenge ALL THREE OF YOU to a verbal debate about the contents of the book. I'll give you 100 to 1 odds that I can prove you've never read it in 10 questions or less.

    One of you stated "out of touch with real facts". What "real facts" are you referring to?

    Jones says exactly what everyone knows to be true. Much of the Negro community has devolved into a bunch of ungrateful and uneducated animals. Their culture glorifies self-destructive actions, and because the vast majority are uneducated and gullible, they don't bother to analyze their own behavior as the cause of their problems but instead prefer to blame others and then go steal what they want from other people while also screaming for the government to give them more shit that they didn't pay for.

    To be fair, if the governments were all completely abolished, we'd have enough of everything to give to everyone everywhere. We'd just have to go through a period of killing the criminals off and then once we've established COMMUNITY law-enforcement, crime will all but disappear. Then we could focus on knowledge and enlightenment during a period of renaissance. The next generation will have it better after a billion of us die off from the repercussions of the clot shots.

    Despite liberal opinions to the contrary, Black culture is, for the most part, its own worst enemy, and when they run out of people of their own neighbors to victimize, they simply turn to their "oppressors" for a little payback. This guy is spot on, but you won't find that reflected on any of the major news networks. After all, these days their are things you can say, and things they just don't want to hear. if you aren't clear on the message, read Thomas Sowell, and listen to a far wiser and better educated black man and see how much these two actually have in common.

    Totally biased and racist, out of touch with real facts. Typical rubbish written for those that want their hatred normalized. You want real truth about crime and states, visit the DOJ and FBI websites and also learn a little about how poverty impacts/influences crime rates, that people tend to victimize people in their own ethnicity, and that mandatory sentencing and drug convictions are completely disparate and heavier convictions fall against the poorest and people of color disproportionately, etc. etc. This book is full of inaccurate, hate filled ideologies.

Racial violence and those who deny and encourage it.

"Every single thing in my life is built around race.

When I get home my other homies are like ‘how was your day?’

Well, I only had to be white for at least eight hours today.

Everything we do is that."

--Jamie Foxx²

Black people are relentless victims of relentless white violence, often at the end of a badge -- for No Reason What So Ever.

That was the biggest news story of 2014 and it was easy to find in the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, Spike Lee, Oprah, USA Today, and lots of other places.

The President got in on the act in 2014 when he told the Congressional Black Caucus about a justice gap. Where too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement. Guilty of walking while black. Driving while black. Judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.³

War on black people, anyone?

That is the biggest lie of our generation. Because just the opposite is true.

Black crime and violence against whites, gays, women, seniors, young people and lots of others is astronomically out of proportion.

It just won’t quit. Neither will the excuses. Or the denials. Or the black on white hostility. Or those who encourage it.

That is what ‘Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry’ is about.

In 2013, more and more people began to figure out that the traditional excuses — jobs, poverty, schooling, whatever — for black crime and mayhem were not really working any more. Now they have a new excuse. The ultimate excuse: White racism is everywhere. White racism is permanent. White racism explains everything.

Joshua Adams of Ebony speaks as well as any of the thousands talking about this today in homes, schools, churches, government and media. Even if black people are being convicted of crimes like assault and murder and burglary and rape and selling drugs anywhere from 10 to 20 to 30 to even 40 times more than the rest of the population, Joshua does not want to hear it. Not anymore:⁴

It’s much easier to point to Black crime than to interrogate a whole litany of violence against the Black community.

What’s missing in their analysis is any mention of the history of institutionalized attacks on Black people …

There’s no call for accountability towards a prison industrial complex sending Black and Brown folks to jail with longer sentences for equal or lesser crimes than any other race.

No statistics are presented to show the over reporting of Chicago crime or to combat the many misconceptions about Black on Black crime in general in America.

And what’s sadder is if their analysis is that shallow, how could they even begin to discuss, let alone understand, the residual effects from the sadistic, prolonged assault on our people that was chattel slavery?

The predator as victim. And vice versa.

Prisons cause crime. So does slavery. And don’t forget white people. They are pretty bad too. To quote the t-shirt: It’s a black thing. We wouldn’t understand. We don’t have to. But we do have to be aware of the danger this Big Lie presents.

Back to Adams: If you aren’t interested in doing anything but pointing in our direction to underscore some sort of racist, classist, blame-skewing point, then keep our city out your mouth.

I understand now: A new generation of black leaders and white enablers want to remove black violence from the table and instead focus on the Big Lie: The war on Black People and how racist white people are waging it.

All the time. Everywhere. When just the opposite is true.

That is what this book is about.

For the last five years, black mobs have rampaged and beaten and destroyed and threatened and defied police dozens -- DOZENS -- of times at the upscale Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. They tried everything to fight it. New mayor. New police chief. They begged parents. Pleaded with perpetrators.

What do you want? community activists asked the members of the violent mobs. We want to be left alone, they said.

Finally they tried a curfew -- against the advice of former Mayor and now Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, who told them: "All we are going to do is make a lot of black kids angry."⁵

And he was right. Racial violence continued. Much of it on video.

You did not know Kansas City and other places in the heartland of Middle America — like Peoria, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Indianapolis and even Green Bay — are now centers of frequent, intense and dangerous black mob violence?

Exactly.

I get emails and Tweets and Facebook messages and phone calls and YouTube videos every day about racial violence from all over the country. They all start the same way: ‘Colin, did you see this?’

They contain links to a black mob beating up a white driver at the scene of an accident. Or 40,000 black people beating, stealing, rioting and rampaging through Virginia Beach. Not for the first time. Or TV writer David Simon of the Wire citing a study that shows how black juries do not like to convict black defendants.

On and on and on until we get to the more than 1,000 new and recent examples of new black mob violence and black-on-white crime and denial and deceit and encouragement documented in this book. Not just from the big cities such as Detroit, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore.

That’s too easy. But smaller towns, too. Peoria. Springfield. Greensboro. Jersey City. Dover. Monroe. Harrisburg. Charlottesville. Norwalk. New Haven. Utica. Dayton. Tuscaloosa. Texas City. Grand Terrace. Or places you might not expect it: Rochester. Louisville. Minneapolis. Seattle. Portland.

This book also documents the black resentment, black hostility, and black racial consciousness that permeates every part of black media, black churches, black families and black schooling. All of which helps answer a question I usually beg off: Colin, why is this happening?

I still do not know. But in this book, we are going to learn where people learn it is OK. We will also talk about how black crime rates are astronomically out of proportion — and how even that vastly understates the true level of black crime and violence.

And lots more: There are so many stories. We better get to it.

Starting with Louisville.

Louisville: Let’s Get It Started.

Violence. Denial. Demands. Oh my!

There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it — in that prejudice and racism — and they just have to die!

-- Oprah Winfrey

Louisville has it all: The relentless black mob violence. Media denial. Official obfuscation. Forgotten victims. Pitied predators. Cooked books. Unfiled police reports. Confused citizens. And finally, the black activists and snarky enablers who alternately deny -- then explain and even encourage -- black mob violence.

And oh yeah: it’s been happening a long time.

So let’s get it started: In March 2014, hundreds of black people went on a three-hour rampage: Beating, stealing, laughing, destroying property, creating mayhem. Much of it on video. All starting at the downtown Waterfront Park, spreading out in a ring of chaos and terror.⁷

City officials were quick to dismiss the riot. They said not many people were involved. Not much damage was done. And gosh darn it, that had not happened there in a long time.

Not true, any of it.

And the fact that everyone involved in the violence was black? Not a word -- at least from the reporters. Activists would play the race card soon enough, but soon after the riots, lots of words came from 911 calls and eyewitnesses and victims making it clear the huge gap between what reporters and officials said happened and what really happened.⁸

Let’s start with the denials -- and deceit.

I want to stress that this situation was not common for Waterfront, said Louisville Police Chief Steve Conrad. "It was not common for downtown Louisville and as a matter of fact it is not common for any neighborhood in our community."⁹

Not true. Not even close. It took the local paper days to piece it together, even though part of the violence took place in its parking lot. On video.¹⁰Ten years ago, they could have gotten away with that. Not today. Thanks, YouTube.

This beat down began at the popular Big Four Bridge, a converted railroad trestle that is now a regional bike and pedestrian attraction. A hangout. Reporters wore kid gloves, predators did not. Amy Reid described what happened to her father, mother and children:¹¹

These incidents actually started around 7 p.m. when these vicious little hoodlums attacked my 61-year old father on the Big Four Bridge, in front of my mother and 2 small children, while they screamed for help and he pleaded for them to stop, Reid posted in the comments section of the Courier-Journal.

Bystanders just stood and watched it happen, no one would help. Louisville Metro Police arrived, and would not let them file a report and would not help them get off the bridge to their car safely. My girls are still traumatized and cannot understand why someone would want to hurt their grandpa.

After the mob tired of beating Amy’s family, the attackers returned to taunt them: They made mocking sounds like boo hoo hoo, Amy Reid’s mother told Wave 3 TV news of the attack on her and her husband and grandchildren. ¹²

When a policeman showed up, he said it would not do much good to file a police report if they could not identify the attackers. Amy Reid’s parents and children had to walk past their laughing assailants to return to their car, without police protection.

Without filing a police report. So it never happened.

Samantha Craven saw another of the attacks:

I seriously just witnessed a man get beat (almost) to death on Broadway right by 4th street live, she wrote at the Wave 3 news site. "He was jumped by AT LEAST 30 kids!! There was blood everywhere... This is the craziest shit I've ever seen in my life! I'm shaking... I wanna cry..."¹³

Later, via email, Craven described the attackers as black: As we drove away, we noticed the group still walking, laughing and carrying on a few blocks down.

Always laughing. We have a former prison shrink to tell us what that means, both here and around the country. But let's say this for starters: They are having a good time.

WHAS TV News described the assaults as a fight. But it was hardly that. This was an attack. It was a group of black teens, said Craig Roberts of Louisville. Wonder why they won’t mention that.

This book will not answer the why. It will answer the question of how it happens, over and over. Violence. Denial. Deceit.

Viola Leffler was with her boyfriend and five children when a black mob stopped her car, reached in and beat her. Before we got to the stop light, we noticed 50 to 100 teens coming to the middle of the street so we couldn’t go any further, a bruised and bloody Leffler told WDRB TV. "All of a sudden, one throws a garbage can at our car." ¹⁴

Leffler’s boyfriend got out to see what was going on. He must be good looking because he is not too smart.¹⁵

He got pounded, big time. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew was throwing rocks at her car even as they surrounded it.

Leffler did not drive off because she did not want to run them over, she said. The boy came out of nowhere and punches me in my eye, she said. Knocks me out. Somehow Leffler and her brood made their way to the nearby Bader’s food market, where they called police.

But Bader’s had its own problems: The same crowd was on its way there. Soon 50 to 100 black people were forcing their way in, attacking store employees, looting candy and groceries. All on video. All the time laughing.

The owners and workers at Bader’s laughed as well when they heard the police and mayor protest that black mob violence was unheard of downtown. They’d seen it before, plenty of times.

Bader says crowds of teens terrorize the area almost every weekend once the weather warms up. It's not isolated. It's been going on for years, store manager Adam Bader told WDRB news. He said the teens usually start in Waterfront Park and work their way south.

Usually we catch it in time, we'll lock the door, said Bader. "But you have to shut your store down for 35 minutes to an hour, and we lose $300 to $400."¹⁶

Bader said Thunder Over Louisville Night in 2013 was especially bad. All hell just broke loose. We had the VIPER unit, military police here. We had to shut down the store for a good three hours.

Remember reading about that? Exactly.

Reporters may be shy about letting their readers know that race is the central organizing feature of the violence, but witnesses and victims on the business end of a 911 call are not. Here are excerpts from a few 911 calls. You can hear them for yourself if you want.¹⁷

I am on the Big Four Walking Bridge right now, said one caller to the emergency operator, and there was a bunch of black kids that walked by and hit an older white guy. He was actually on the ground. There’s a whole group of them. They are all cheering. They are all excited about it.

And another: We’re here for a cheerleading convention, and right across from the hotel at the bus stop, there’s a big bunch of black guys. And there are several cheerleaders walking from the hotel to the convention center and we’ve witnessed three times that these black boys are yelling and screaming and snatching at their butts. Earlier they went to grab the girls’ butts and the girls ran from them and they chased after them. Now they are back.

And one more, of dozens: We were just walking and some dudes just went up to my boyfriend and punched him in the face. They stole his wallet and his phone. When I went over there to get them off of him, they punched me in the face and kicked me as well.

Were they white, black, Hispanic? asked the operator.

Black, said the victim. Jeffrey Gordon told WDRB the mob beat him and his partner the night before.¹⁸

It was essentially a sucker punch, and I've seen people be knocked out that way, Gordon said. He says it happened while he and his partner walked down S. Preston Street at around 9:00 p.m. Saturday night. Noticed a group behind us, on a corner, about 25 to 30 people, Gordon said.

He went on to say about 10 teens split off from the larger group, coming toward them, then one teen punched the back of his partner's head. Police were called, but Gordon says no report was filed.

If you are wondering why this anti-gay attack was not reported as other anti-gay violence is, give yourself extra points for paying attention.

City officials stuck to the denial playbook:

This was an extraordinarily unusual incident. Nothing like this has happened in decades so hopefully that will stay that way, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said.¹⁹

No one believed that. Not even his police administrators, who a few days after the violence were wondering who leaked this memo to the press:²⁰

Over the past few months, violence has been an issue that has left numerous law abiding citizens victimized, some with moderate to serious injuries, said deputy police chief Yvette Gentry.

The kids we are finding involved are as young as 11 years old out without purpose or supervision. Some groups involve upwards of 30 kids that otherwise may be decent but take on the personality and mentality of the leaders that have every intention of taking part in criminal activity.

After the email was released, several members of the city council questioned why the city’s crime map showed Waterfront Park was the safest part of town, not the most dangerous.

Oops, our bad, said the mayor’s office: The city's crime map previously accepted only physical addresses and crimes committed in parks and were displayed in a parking lot at 5th and Liberty Streets. ²¹ Thus, there was no crime there.

Thus Louisville joined the likes of New York, Baltimore, New Orleans, Seattle, Atlanta, Detroit, Rochester, Los Angeles and lots of other major cities that got caught cooking their crime books.²²

If the police don't file reports on incidents then it looks like crime goes down, said Vick Patrick. Bruce Miller agreed. And he should know: He used to be the County Attorney.²³All this was not in the news stories, but the readers’ comments.

Some of the violence took place in and around the parking lot of the major daily newspaper in Louisville, the Courier Journal. The black mob vandalized several cars there. It is not clear if anyone was working at the Courier Journal then, because few details of the violence appeared in initial reports.²⁴

Or if the editors knew, they did not say.

Former Louisville police detective Dale Rhodes has a hunch which it is. He took to Facebook to put the racial violence in perspective after the paper removed his initial comments. Black on white crime is a fact of life in Louisville, he says. As is its denial.²⁵

Over a period of about 5 weeks (I think in the summer of 1990) there were at least 20 incidents where white people were assaulted by a gang of blacks numbering anywhere from 5 to 15,Rhodes wrote. Many of the victims were severely beaten, some left for dead and others left with life-long career ending injuries. All the incidents involved black on white crime, every single one. Yet we were ordered, if asked, to tell reporters and the media there was no evidence to indicate these crimes were racially motivated. I personally witnessed commanding officers being far less than truthful with the media regarding these incidents.

Folks in Louisville say the black mob violence and black on white crime never really stopped since then. The incidents to which I refer are just the tip of the iceberg, said the former police officer.

Here are just a few: a black mob beat and robbed Amanda Foster and two of her friends in August 2013 at the Waterfront Park.²⁶

A year before that, it happened again: The mother says her son was brutally beaten in the head and kicked all over, said the reporter at WDRB. "All he thought about was to cover his head and pray to God he’d get out of there alive." ²⁷

He did.

Writing in the Louisville Examiner in 2011, former police department lawyer Thomas McAdam exposed Louisville’s about black mob violence in its downtown showcase: ²⁸

Sadly, this idyllic Urban Oasis is fast devolving into a target-rich environment for roving bands of thugs, McAdam wrote. The dirty little secret that City Hall wants to hide from the public is the fact that Waterfront Park is not a very safe place for families, particularly after dark.

McAdam went on to describe an incident where 200 black people beat a disabled person at a bus stop after a minor league baseball game. The man went to the hospital with a fractured skull. But just how dangerous is it down at Waterfront Park? McAdam asked three years before the latest mayhem. We may never know because city officials hide the dangers from the public.

Despite all the evidence, some in Louisville are determined to ignore the racial violence. Black mob violence trend? snarked James Kemp at the Courier-Journal. Fox News much? Others chirped in with accusations of racism for those who noticed the black on white crime.

The Snark used to work just fine. But that was before YouTube and Internet news sites and comments exposed it for what it is: Desperate attempts to stop people from knowing the nature and extent of the violence in Louisville.

I live downtown and the news organizations rarely report the armed robberies and assaults of students that take place just off (the University of Louisville) campus on a regular basis, said reader Michael Aines. The mayor wants us to believe the area is very safe.... but it is not after dark.

Aines and others have an ally in their quest for more transparency about crime -- at least on or near the University of Louisville campus. And that is a federal law -- the Clery Act -- that requires universities to keep their crime reports publicly available on their web sites.

You have to hunt and peck a bit for it, but once you find the news alerts the school is required to issue, you see why: Of the more than 20 violent crimes of robbery and assault and home invasion in 2013 and half of 2014, every one involved black people -- except one.

Here’s the latest one as this chapter is written.²⁹

The Louisville Metro Police Department is investigating a series of robberies in the Old Louisville area, north of the Belknap Campus. These robberies are occurring in the late evening hours. The victim describes the suspects as a group of 3 young black males. All suspects were wearing dark clothing. And oh yeah: it’s been happening for a long time.

In 2010, McAdams (again) wrote for Louisville.com "about the recent string of muggings of students on Belknap campus. Despite beefed-up patrols and the installation of 175 security cameras around the campus, the home of the Fighting Cardinals has become a dangerous place; especially after dark."³⁰

Now that you’ve had your vegetables, you deserve dessert: An answer to what is causing all this racial crime and violence, at least in Louisville. And what the heck, let’s throw in a solution too.

For that, we turn to the smarter-than-average folks at National Public Radio, who looked at all this racial mayhem and thought highly enough of this explanation to feature these comments in a story: ³¹

We really need to address white people’s bigotry," says Chris Hartman, director of the Louisville’s Fairness Campaign, adding that decades of disparities have blocked access for the African American community.

That is white people’s work, it just has got to change.

Now you know. Louisville wasn’t the biggest or the most dangerous episode of black mob violence. Far from it. But there are a lot of contenders for places that were -- starting with Rochester, New York, Virginia Beach, Virginia and Ferguson, Missouri.

But let’s take care of one more bit of business in Louisville first.

Louisville: How it all began.

That wasn’t true either.

As a black person it’s always racial.

-- Jamie Foxx³²

Let’s take a closer look at the attack that Bill O’Reilly and others said touched off the Louisville riot. Which they never called a riot. Which they said had nothing to do with race.

It happened two weeks before. When news first broke that two children were attacked and stabbed on a bus, and one died, the local media wasted no time in breaking out the Trayvon playbook: Me’Quale Offutt played on the flag football team and other youth sports teams, said black TV reporter Renee Murphy in front of a montage of Trayvon-like Me’Quale photos. "His family hopes one day he’ll be able to do that again." ³³

His aunt, Raushanah Daniel, pronounced the person who stabbed Me’Quale a ‘sick person to stab her nephew For No Reason What So Ever. He took a baby that was loved," she said.

And oh yeah, said Raushanah, it looked like the city was going to owe her family a lot of money. The other victim was a 13-year old girl.

Witnesses say (the attacker) came on the bus belligerent, and then is accused of attacking the children, intoned the reporter at WHAS.

The bad man who caused all this: Anthony Allen. He attacked the 13-year old girl, said the aunt. Then he started with Me’Quale. Cut to the memorial reflection ceremony in the park a few days later: Lots of people quite unhappy that young black people are senseless victims of violent crime.³⁴

He was an eighth grader who boarded the bus to go home after a visit to his cousin’s house, said the anchor at WLKY in hushed tones introducing the Me’Quale memorial. Though he never questioned what they were doing out well after midnight. The latest victim of violence. Tonight, his family gathered to demand that violence end.

At the service, reporters dutifully ignored Me’Quale’s friends wearing t-shirts featuring Me’Quale flashing gang signs. They focused instead on how he was a victim. But by now, rumors were starting to spread that maybe Me’Quale was not the innocent angel that his family said he was. Raushanah started singing a slightly different tune:

We don’t worry about the details of what happened, she said. She just wanted violence to end.

And Anthony Allen? He was the worst person in the world.

Then came the video. And all of sudden we learned about the details, as in who attacked whom. We learned it was not just two kids but six. And oh yeah: They attacked him. Not the other way around. The video makes that very clear.³⁵

That is why the grand jury decided there would be no charges against Anthony Allen because he was acting in self-defense. And the five survivors: They all lied.³⁶

After the riot, reporters were working overtime to make sure no one suspected this was a case of black mob violence. Let’s hear from a card-carrying member of that dedicated group: a news director.

Letter from a News Director

Colin: You are a bad man.

Sometimes I send an email to TV news directors saying ‘Hey: Lots of black mob violence in your town, if you want to do a story on it, let me know.’ Which is what I did in Louisville after writing about the Waterfront riot.

Comes now Jennifer Keeney from Louisville TV news. She says I got it all Wrong!!!!!

Colin,

You have wrong information about what happened in Louisville. The violence that happened here last week was NOT racially motivated. There were white teens within the mob, and there were black victims who were attacked.

The media is not being silent. We are being factual. I suggest you change your web site to reflect the same.

Jennifer Keeney

WDRB News- Louisville

Take that, Colin. Ouch!

I got to thinking about a story I wrote about a black man who was unjustly convicted of trying to kill his white girl friend. This got him out of prison. It was a big deal at NPR, the Los Angeles Times and other outlets. His name was Kelvin Wiley.³⁷

After the success of the podcast Serial, I featured the story of Kelvin Wiley on my own podcast called "How to REALLY get a guy out of prison."³⁸

During the first minute while I was talking to the woman who manufactured the story against Wiley, I had a very strong impression: ‘Oh God, I have the whole thing wrong. She could not have lied and put Wiley in prison. No way.’

But then I literally felt something on my shoulder, whispering in my ear all the ways this woman had lied and lied and ruined this man’s life and sent him to prison unjustly. That snapped me out of my temporary insanity.

But that did not happen here. Sorry Jennifer.

So let’s take my reply to Jennifer one piece at a time:

The violence that happened here last week was NOT racially motivated, quoth the Emmy Award-winning Jennifer.

I do not use the term racially motivated. Mainly because I cannot read people's minds. Apparently I am the only one in America afflicted with this affliction.

But what I do say is this: If large groups of black people in Louisville beat tourists, harass locals, destroy property, defy police, and generally terrorize the downtown on a regular basis, that makes a pattern.

The pattern is the evidence. It is ridiculous to say these actions are random.

Unless, of course, you are a news director in Louisville named who is covering up large-scale white and Asian mob violence in Louisville. If that is the case, send me some videos; we’ll spend the rest of our lives in comfort selling gajillions of books from the comfortable couches at MSNBC.

But that is the point: For news directors like Jennifer, unless the miscreants start issuing press releases saying 'Let's Kill Honkies,' they will ignore the victims, the witnesses, the video tapes and the crime reports. They will ignore the central organizing feature of the people who commit the crime and violence. Race.

Glenn Singleton says black people talk about racial matters daily, if only among themselves. But white people "are conditioned not to do that."³⁹

In a few pages we’ll find out more about Glenn Singleton. And how he is spreading the story of relentless white racism and black victimization to hundreds of thousands of school children in hundreds of school districts around the country.

Back to Award Winning Jennifer: There were white teens within the mob, and there were black victims who were attacked.

Hmm, 17 attacks, that we know of. Lots of videos. Lots of witnesses.  In the grocery store where they looted and beat the workers, you can see a white person there. That person was a victim. Not part of the mob.

I understand how she might confuse the victims and the predators. Actually I don’t. So please explain, Jennifer: Why do reporters constantly confuse victims and predators?

This was a black event. Not just Saturday. But many times before. Recently. I issued a challenge to her: Put me on one of your sleepy Sunday afternoon public affairs shows. Get your nastiest reporters and your slimiest community activists. And you.

And let’s see if you have the guts to say on the air --to your audience-- what you said here to me. Just tell them they can take down the conservative hero with the bestselling civil rights book in America.

If you’re right, it should be easy. Real easy. Then you will be a hero. If not, well, we already know how that would make you look. Like an apologist. A denier of the worst kind whose willingness to ignore racial violence put people in danger every day.

While we wait for Jennifer’s reply, let’s head over to Rochester, New York. Where they have lots and lots of Jennifers.

Rochester: Asians Bleed a Lot.

Black violence against Asians on an epic scale.

It is hypocritical to talk about equal opportunity because the system ensures never ending advantages for white students.

-- Janet Hale

Sometimes black mob violence is too bloody, too blatant, too frequent to ignore. Even for reporters.

That was the case in June 2014 in Rochester, New York, where for years -- YEARS -- recent immigrants from Nepal and Burma have been subject to more than a thousand cases of racial violence. All from black people. All unreported in the local media until June -- when the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle broke the embargo.⁴⁰

Kind of. In its own weaselly way.

Let’s pick up the story from Democrat & Chronicle reporter Jon Hand: He is talking about a young immigrant whose father -- and just about everyone else he knows -- have been the victims of constant beating, robbery, taunting, bullying. All from black people.

The local paper of record puts it in a curious perspective:

The violent and misplaced anger (the victim) feels toward African Americans has been building for years in this small community of perhaps a few thousand South Asian refugees living in small pockets of northwest Rochester near and in Jones Square.

The anger is fueled, he and more than a dozen other residents interviewed say, by hundreds of incidents of robbery and violent and verbal bullying in recent years.

And for Khadka and his brother, the sight of their injured father crystallizes that rage into a single clear, terrible and inappropriate thought — a thought that pays no mind to the many American complexities surrounding race and class:

They wanted to go to war with the black community.

News flash: The black people are already at war with the Asians. And have been from the day they landed in Rochester. It took the Asians a while to figure that out.

African-Americans are targeting them, and there is just so much of this they are going to take, said Bill Wischmeyer, an advocate for the refugee community known as Mr. Bill.

They're angry. They are ready to explode and it's going to get worse until someone ends up dead.

The violent, racially charged tensions in what was once a mostly black neighborhood have caught the attention of authorities before.

But not the newspaper. Not ever.

Not sure why self defense or even anger is inappropriate or misplaced. Maybe someday I’ll ask Jennifer.

Or why the victims of this violence have to learn about what the paper calls the complexities surrounding race and class while they try to piece together how they should feel about this relentless racial violence.

The Democrat & Chronicle ran this story on regular and ruthless black-on-Asian attacks during a series called Unite Rochester. It was not even the first story. That honor went to an article about how Rochester does not have enough black judges.

Only then did the paper cover what it apologetically calls the "sensitive and potentially volatile situation."⁴¹ Potentially?

To the Asian victims, this violence is as real as it gets, no matter how diligently city officials and the media ignore it. The Asians say they reported crimes to police, but police refused to take reports. The Rochester version of Jennifer explained it all: Police say the immigrants will eventually acclimate to the harsh environment in which they have been placed.

The immigrants say they don’t remember that part of the orientation. Just the opposite: America was a second heaven. A peaceful place. Now they say this is a lie and they want to know if it was ever true.

It still is, in some places. Not Rochester. That is the real fight waging all over the country: Is black mob violence normal? Lots of people say yes.

Wischmeyer re-posted a Facebook comment he received from one of the refugees:⁴²

I want to know why is it that Rochester police didn't do nothing against hate crime toward us immigration or refugee.... a lot of Nepalese people getting beat up lately and they still don't do nothing in the past 3 year...all they said is stay away from them...

Wischmeyer tells the rest of the story: What he told me was that a couple of African American youth approached his brother, pulled out a gun (pistol) and shot his brother in the stomach. THANK GOD it was a BB Gun. And all the police said was stay away from them? This was devastating to these refugee youths.

The violent stories go and on and on. The reaction from black leaders in Rochester is curiously muted.

Sherry Walker-Cowart is the president and CEO at the Center for Dispute Resolution. She was not aware that black people were assaulting Asians by the hundreds, if not thousands. Even so, she offered a cause. And a solution:

Some of it is naiveté, she told the Democrat and Chronicle. Some of it is prejudice, you know, and prejudice really comes from ignorance. It's just ignorance and people not knowing each other and seeing each other as human and making it a human issue.

In case you thought you misread this, you did not: She’s calling the Asians naive because they do not know enough to avoid the racial violence that plagues them night and day. In and out of their homes.

Walker-Cowart was singing a different tune after George Zimmerman was acquitted of killing St. Trayvon. Not of naïveté. Not of mutual misunderstanding. But of a black community fractured by the injustice of finding George Zimmerman going free.⁴³

Need some more explanations? Let’s ask former Rochester police chief James Sheppard. He had plenty of them for the Democrat & Chronicle: "The perpetrators are more often young black men who don't feel good about themselves and who prey on the vulnerable for economic reasons." ⁴⁴

Any time you have an immigrant group come in they stand out, particularly in your depressed neighborhoods, Sheppard said. They may dress different, they may talk different, they tend not to fight back and so that just made them easy victims, easy to identify. And the fact that they didn't call police? That just made it happen more often.

Careful readers of White Girl Bleed a Lot will recognize a similar ‘blame the victim’ reaction from the black chief of police in Buffalo after black mobs assaulted dozens of white students at local college campuses: "The City of Buffalo is an urban environment, and if you come from a rural section of the state, this is a different setting."⁴⁵

Or the black police chief of Columbus, South Carolina. When merchants and students were upset at the dozens of cases of black mob violence near the campus of the University of South Carolina, the chief blamed it on the white students who drank too much. ⁴⁶

Or the (now-former) superintendent of schools in Philadelphia who had a similar reaction to a similar case of long term black on Asian violence at South Philadelphia High School. ⁴⁷ She gave the Asian students a flyer instructing them how to avoid antagonizing the black students who were beating them. ⁴⁸

She whispered to reporters the Asian students -- at this school with 85 percent black students -- were the ones to blame because they did not know how to behave around black people.

Shortly after, also in Philadelphia, a middle aged white man out for an evening stroll found himself on the ground with dozens of black people beating and kicking and taunting him.

"Why are you doing this?" he shrieked.⁴⁹

It’s not our fault you can’t fight, said one of the assailants, before they moved on to their next victim. Soon after, Mayor Nutter told the New York Times that widespread reports of racial violence in Philadelphia were not much.

The Times ate it up. Shades of Walter Duranty. Look him up.

Back to Rochester and its sociologist-in-chief who used to be the chief of police: The violence the Asians experienced at the hands of black people is similar to that which other groups have experienced, he said to the Democrat & Chronicle.

There’s that bogus moral equivalence again.

There was a time when a lot of Southern blacks were moving from Florida and South Carolina into the Rochester area looking for jobs and they went through the same cycles of discrimination and having to fight back and get a foothold. Then, when they established a foothold, other groups came in whether it was Puerto Ricans or other nationalities and they had to go through the same rites of passage.

This was a different song than the one Sheppard was singing just a few months before when he and Trayvon’s mother were the star attractions at a Rochester forum called: America's Most Wanted: Hip Hop, the Media, and the Prison Industrial Complex.

Sheppard said police needed to do a better job of communicating with black people.⁵⁰

I include the remarks from Sheppard and Walker-Cowart not because they are true, but because Marlin Newburn is calling bull on every single word of it. Newburn has been on the front lines of racial violence for 30 years, most recently as a prison psychologist.

The comments by these people in authority are blatantly ignorant and predator-enabling, Newburn said. "Black predators know they will never be held accountable for any outrageous or violent action, and they are completely conditioned to understand that someone will stand in front of a reporter or TV camera and make excuses for them. They know they're protected, nationwide. Even the laziest observer should consider how they have no qualms about assaulting completely innocent people.

"Black street predators are raised
